Live comments

  • 0' - The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against Japan and Costa Rica has kicked off!
  • 5' - The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Oscar Duarte suffering a number of foals already.
  • 10' - Takumi Minamino needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 15' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 20' - The travelling Costa Rica supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 25' - Japan is showing some good football. However, Japan are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 30' - Costa Rica looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Keysher Fuller scoring 1 goals.
  • 35' - Costa Rica started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 35.
  • 40' - Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Japan needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 41' - A meaty challenge results in booking for Anthony Contreras on 41.
  • 42' - It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Anthony Contreras.
  • 44' - Japan player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 46' - The whistle greets Ayase Ueda as he departs to be replaced by Takuma Asano.
  • 51' - While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Costa Rica winning 100% of all matches.
  • 56' - Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 61' - A meaty challenge results in booking for Celso Borges on 61.
  • 62' - It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Celso Borges.

  • 76' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ritsu Doan made 264 appearances and scored 36 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 81' - GOAL! Keysher Fuller scores on 81.
  • 82' - Time for substitution for Japan. Yuki Soma is replaced by Takumi Minamino.
